Creation Date: 2009-07-20
Publishing Date: 2009-07-23
Caution: You can use this software version for all MOBOTIX cameras M12, D12, V12, M22M, D22M and Q22M only! It can't be installed on D24M/Q24M camera models.
NTLMv2 support
When using CIFS file servers, the
camera now also supports the NTLMv2 authentication mode. This is the
default option on newer Windows server systems, such as Windows 2008
Server. To activate this feature, select the corresponding option in
the Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash
Device dialog.
When recording to MxFFS-formatted Flash media, it had not been possible set storage limits for storage size, keep time and number of sequences. MxFFS always used the complete available storage capacity. This software version fully supports the storage limits when storing on MxFFS-formatted Flash media. For example, you can set up continuous recording, but only keep the last 30 minutes of the recording if the workers council has asked to do so.
Messages on NTP Failure
In case the NTP time
server of a camera fails, the camera will now enter an error message
in the system messages. This in turn allows using the error
notification mechanisms of the camera, i.e. by sending an e-mail or
network message.
Problems with MAC
addresses
D22M and Q22M cameras sometimes sent corrupt IP
packets that contained a malformed MAC address. Switches with
activated MAC address detection of the attached network devices
recognized the malformed address and disconnected the cameras from
the network.
MxPEG detection on Panorama
display mode
When using the MxPEG video codec in the Panorama
display mode of a Q22M camera, the camera sometimes showed tiling
effects.
Dialog display problems in
IE 8
When using Internet Explorer 8, the browser
sometimes displayed the dynamic, scrollable area of a dialog much to
small.
Problems using full image
storage
The using Full Image Storage independent of th
camera's live stream, the camera sometimes had memory problems. This
sometimes resulted in camera reboots, frozen dialogs or a stopped
live image.
Software updates using
https/SSL
Updating a camera software did not work if the
camera was connected via https/SSL.
D12D-180° - mouse click problems
When trying to
define a frame in the live image with activated 180° display mode,
the image generation sometimes failed. This is not possible any
more.
Conversion of old
configurations with rotated/mirrored exposure and video motion
windows
When updating the software on cameras with a software
older than 3.4.5.4, the configuration can be improperly converted if
it contains exposure and video motion windows in rotated or mirrored
images. If this is the case, please check the exposure and video
motion window definitions and adjust them accordingly.
ActiveX PTZ and Proxy
When
accessing the camera via a proxy server, the joystick control does
not work in combination with the ActiveX control.
ActiveX control and mouse
pointer on Internet Explorer
On some combinations of Windows
operating systems and the Internet Explorer, the mouse pointer
sometimes retained the crosshairs look even though the pointer had
been moved away from the camera image (i.e. the ActiveX control). If
this was the case, the pointer could not be used to operate the
other page elements. This problem can be fixed by displaying the
context menu (right-click), which resets the mouse pointer.
Translations
Some translations are missing on all
language versions other than English and German.
Creation Date: 2009-03-02
Publishing Date: 2009-03-06
Caution: You can use this software version
for all MOBOTIX cameras M12, D12, V12, M22M, D22M and Q22M!
Make sure that you never install a software with a lower
version than 3.4.5.4 on a Q22M!
Improved Q22M Double
Panorama display mode
Adjustment of the Double
Panorama view of a Q22M that has been mounted to the ceiling has
been facilitated. Once this display mode has been unlocked, you can
set both "subviews" (North and South) fully independent
from one another, i.e. you change them by vPTZ actions (vPTZ =
virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom). This allows to focus on the interesting
areas in the monitored room by adjusting the North and South views
accordingly.
Support of Q22M with L22 lenses
This software
version also supports Q22M cameras with an L22 lens. Q22M models
with this lens work just like M22M cameras. Note, that the display
modes for a Q22M with L11 lens (Surround, Panorama,
Double Panorama, Panorama Focus) are not available for
this lens.
Mouse wheel functions for vPTZ
The mouse wheel is
not used for vPTZ functions by default, it needs to be activated in
Setup Menu > vPTZ Settings.
Pre-alarm time did not show any
effect when using event recording
The camera ignored the
pre-alarm time (up to 2 seconds), which can be set for event
recording.
Zoom actions in images of a 3
megapixel sensor with Fast image quality
When
zooming into the image of a camera with 3 megapixel sensor (factory
IP of 10.3.x.x) with image quality set to Fast,
the live stream sometimes stopped.
EiP display mode
in combination with zoom
Zooming into an image in EiP
(Event in Picture) display mode, the camera sometimes initiated a
reboot after triggering a new event.
ExtIO signal inputs
When
using the signal inputs of an attached ExtIO, detection of changing
signal flanks did not work properly. This meant that only the
Falling (High → Low) and Closed (Low) statuses could
be used reliably.
Logos in the image together
with custom resolution
When using a custom
resolution, the camera was unable to display logos in the image.
Problems with rotating/mirroring of images
When
using rotated or mirrored images, the definition of exposure or
video motion windows sometimes resulted in problems when executing
vPTZ commands.
Conversion of old
configurations with rotated/mirrored exposure and video motion
windows
When updating the software on cameras with a software
older than 3.4.5.4, the configuration can be improperly
converted if it contains exposure and video motion windows in
rotated or mirrored images. If this is the case, please check the
exposure and video motion window definitions and adjust them
accordingly.
ActiveX PTZ and Proxy
When
accessing the camera via a proxy server, the joystick control does
not work in combination with the ActiveX control.
ActiveX control and mouse
pointer on Internet Explorer
On some combinations of Windows
operating systems and the Internet Explorer, the mouse pointer
sometimes retained the crosshairs look even though the pointer had
been moved away from the camera image (i.e. the ActiveX control). If
this was the case, the pointer could not be used to operate the
other page elements. This problem can be fixed by displaying the
context menu (right-click), which resets the mouse pointer.

Creation Date: 2009-02-03
Publishing Date: 2009-02-04
Caution: You can use this software version for all MOBOTIX cameras M12, D12, V12, M22M, D22M and Q22M! Make sure that you never install a software with a lower version on a Q22M!
The Q22M models with L11 lens (fisheye) now feature additional image display modes. You can set these modes using the Display Modes Quick Control:
Panorama
When using a
Q22M mounted to a wall, you can use this mode to see the entire room
from the left to the right wall in one 180° image. Images in this
mode have an aspect ration (width to height) of 4 to 3, with the
width determined by the currently used image resolution (size).
Double Panorama
When
using a Q22M mounted to the ceiling, this mode shows a 180°
panorama image for the Northern half of the image and a
second panorama image of the Southern half of the image using
an aspect ration (width to height) of 4 to 3.
Panorama Focus
This display mode combines the
panorama view (aspect ration 8 to 3) with two smaller images (each
with aspect ratio 4 to 3) in one large image with an aspect ratio of
(width to height) of 4 to 3. This mode is especially interesting, if
the camera has been mounted to a wall, since you can use the
Panorama view to monitor the entire room while the two independent
smaller views can be used to zoom into areas of interest.
Additional information:
The definition of North, which is used for the Double Panorama display mode, is accomplished in Normal display mode using the Installation > Set North Quick Control.
The display modes mentioned above are usually locked, i.e. they cannot be changed by vPTZ actions (vPTZ = virtual Pan/Tilt/Zoom). To unlock the views, you can use the Lock button, which is is available in the browser and in MxCC 2.0; once unlocked, you can use vPTZ actions to set your own view.
With this release, the cameras can always store the full image - regardless of what the live image stream is showing. This ensures that the recording always contains the full image even though the operator used the vPTZ features to zoom into the image in order to examine a specific detail of the image. This is especially interesting for the Q22M models, which rely strongly on the vPTZ features in the live image. This means that you can use the vPTZ features to pan, tilt and zoom the live image, while the camera is recording full images at 1 fps in MEGA or QXGA resolution. Thanks to the advanced distortion correction features of MxControlCenter (MxCC) and MxEasy, you can still play back and examine the recorded full images of Q22M cameras normally, i.e. without distortion. Open the Setup > Recording dialog and activate the Full Image Recording option to use this feature. Besides other parameters, this dialog also allows setting the desired resolution.
Please observe the following hints:
When using Full Image Recording on Q22M cameras, you should use at least MEGA or better yet QXGA format. Reason: when viewing the recorded images in MxCC of MxEasy, the applications need this resolution to deliver satisfactory image quality.
As the computing power of the camera has its natural limits, full image storage reduces the attainable data rate of the live image stream, which may drop by about 10 to 30 percent. It is thus recommended to reduce the image rate for storage as far as possible, thus influencing the live image stream as little as possible.
When using the cameras together with MxEasy and its Alarm Planner feature, you can set time ranges for recording with totally different recording settings. It is now possible to set a surveillance camera in a store during opening hours to record continuously with 1 to 2 fps while using event-triggered recording with maximum frame rate and activated Video Motion detection and PIR sensor for detecting events.
When setting the exposure windows, e.g. by using the Exposure Control Quick Control, the camera now has two different modes:
vPTZ Exposure Mode
This
new mode determines images exposure by automatically following the
currently viewed image section when using the virtual PTZ features.
Note that this will influence the exposure of the full image—even
of those areas that are currently now viewed. This may lead to
undesired effects if the camera is recording the full image. This
mode does not allow using any exposure windows since the whole
visible image area is used for exposure control.
Recording Exposure Mode (Default)
This mode
allows using the well-known exposure windows for determining the
correct image exposure. The exposure windows and thus, image
exposure will not be changed using the vPTZ features. This
approach ensures that image exposure always delivers optimum
exposure when recording and that exposure is not changed when using
the virtual PTZ. Note that you can set the desired exposure windows
in both the (distorted) full image and an image section that has
been selected using the virtual PTZ.
|
Note: |
Since this feature has seen numerous changes and improvements as well as extensive testing, we cannot guarantee that the video motion windows will always behave as before. Make sure that you check the triggering of the video motion windows after uploading this software and adjust the settings, if required. |
|---|
This feature has been enhanced and improved as outlined in the following:
Reference windows with
selectable Suppression Time
The reference
windows that are used to avoid false video motion alarms (e.g.
when the illumination of large portions of a scene changes) up until
now only suppressed video motion windows that triggered in exactly
the same image as the reference windows. Open the Setup >
Event Settings dialog and enter a Video Motion Suppression
Time for the reference windows. When a reference windows
triggers now, it will suppress all video motion windows of the same
VM detector set (VM or VM2) within the specified time.
More precise settings for
specific situations
Certain situations may require further
fine-tuning of the behavior of the video motion windows by using the
'$noise', '$postfilter' and '$limit' variables. For further
information on how these variables are used and how they work,
please see the Video Motion Detection page in the camera's
online help.
Definition of video motion windows also in corrected
images
When using the Q22M (with L11 lens) or M22M (with L22
lens) with the virtual PTZ (i.e. corrected image sections), you can
now define the video motion windows directly in these image
sections. It is thus not required to switch to Full Image
display mode to accomplish this.
From this software version on, you can connect the MOBOTIX ExtIO with the cameras using either a USB or an Ethernet cable. Open the Admin Menu > Manage Hardware Expansions dialog to activate the ExtIO and to set its IP address. Once connected to the camera, operation of the ExtIO is the same, regardless of how the ExtIO has been connected.
Notes:
In order to use the full ExtIO functionality, you need to make sure that the ExtIO software is at least version 1.1.0.8 (see www.mobotix.com/eng_GB/Support/Software-Downloads/ExtIO/).
Updating the ExtIO software is always accomplished via the connected camera (Admin Menu > Update System Software). The camera automatically detects, that this MPL file is intended for the ExtIO and applies the update accordingly.
With the expanded vPTZ features of the camera, it is now possible to control these features using the MOBOTIX camera's HTTP API. For more information on this topic, see the Online help of the camera on the The HTTP API page.
This area has been enhanced and improved in the following ways:
Support of Cisco Call Manager
added
MOBOTIX cameras can now be used for SIP telephony via
Cisco Call Manager. Note that Cisco Call Manager currently only
supports voice telephony, but no video telephony.
Playing back an audio message
with adjustable delay
If the camera calls the VoIP number via
a SIP provider (e.g. sipgate), the provider accepts the call and
forwards it accordingly. Since the camera plays back its audio
message too early in this case (i.e. after the call has been
accepted), the recipient may miss the beginning of the message. To
avoid this, you should set a suitable delay in the Settings for
Audio Messages in the Admin > VoIP Settings
dialog (set Configuration Mode to Expert Configuration
to see these options).
Flexible assignment of signal outputs to phone keys
The
keys of the phone can now be set to operate the signal outputs 1
or 2 (this is only available when using either the CamIO or the
ExtIO). This in turn allows using only signal output 1 without
risking that operating the door opener could result in a
"fluttering" of the signal. Use the parameters in the
Signal Output Settings section in the Admin > VoIP
Settings dialog (set Configuration Mode to Expert
Configuration to see these options).
When making video phone calls, the camera can display a legend for the available functions that are assigned to the phone keys (DTMF). Note that you can also use the features if the legend is not visible.
General features of the menus
Phone key "#": Shows/hides the menu, switches between different display modes, stores selections.
Phone key "*": Changes to the next page of the legend, cancels selections and closes submenus.
Phone key "0": If not used otherwise, opens submenus.
You can display these additional key assignments on the screen of a softphone or video SIP phone:
Keys for Camera Arming
Phone key "3": Activate/deactivate camera arming.
Phone keys "7", "8", "9": Activate the Listen ("7"), Speak ("8") and Intercom ("9") audio modes of the camera.
Keys for Event Search
Phone key "0": This key opens a submenu in Player mode, which allows searching for events according to the date and time you entered.
Keys for vPTZ Control of a Q22M
Phone keys "1", "3": Switches back and forth between the Normal ("1") and Surround views ("3").
Phone key "0": Opens a submenu for switching between views:
Phone keys "1" to "6": Defining and storing of predefined views.
Phone keys "7" to "9", "*" and "0": Activates the different auto modes; "0" stops the auto mode.
Improved display modes for Dual cameras
The special
display modes Picture in Picture (PiP), Picture in Zoom
(PiZ) and Event in Picture (EiP) can now be set independently
for the two image sensors of Dual cameras. To set the modes for the
sensors, the Quick Controls now have the two new commands Display
Mode (Right) and Display Mode (Left). Whereas the old
command had been Camera Selection > LiR (Left in
Right), for example, the new command is Camera Selection >
Right together with Display Mode (Right) >
Picture in Picture.
Video motion detection
sensitivity in dark scenes too low
The video motion window's
sensitivity had been too low when the images displayed a lot of
image noise due to low illumination. This behavior could be observed
if the camera engaged the software amplification to maintain the
selected average brightness in the images.
ActiveX control did not stop
zoom actions
When using a joystick, the camera sometimes did
not stop zoom actions any more.
Problems in dark scenes with
images from image profiles
When illumination was low, the
camera sometimes generated images according to image profiles
that contained too much image noise and were also delivered too
slowly when image requests occurred directly one after the other
(with a 10 second delay for each image).
"Ghost images" in
dark scenes with changes in illumination
Dark scenes and
images with heavy image noise sometimes resulted in "ghost
images", i.e. the current image showed remainders of a past
sequence. This could happen if illumination changed while the camera
itself modified image exposure.
Selected action dead time
ineffective
The dead time for actions such as signal output,
visual alarm, etc. did not have the desired effect.
Picture-in-picture display (PiP) in custom image
sizes
When using a custom resolution, the camera was unable
to generate picture-in-picture images.
ActiveX PTZ and Proxy
When
accessing the camera via a proxy server, the joystick control does
not work in combination with the ActiveX control.
ActiveX control and mouse
pointer on Internet Explorer
On some combinations of Windows
operating systems and the Internet Explorer, the mouse pointer
sometimes retained the crosshairs look even though the pointer had
been moved away from the camera image (i.e. the ActiveX control). If
this was the case, the pointer could not be used to operate the
other page elements. This problem can be fixed by displaying the
context menu (right-click), which resets the mouse pointer.
Zoom actions in images of a 3
megapixel sensor with Fast image quality
When
zooming into the image of a camera with 3 megapixel sensor (factory
IP of 10.3.x.x) with image quality set to Fast, the live
stream sometimes stops.
Display mode Event in Picture
with zoom
If you are zooming into an image in EiP (Event in
Picture) display mode, the camera can initiate a reboot after
triggering a new event.

Creation Date: 2008-09-05
Publishing Date: 2008-09-08
Caution: This version and all previous versions must not be installed on Q22M cameras!
With this version, all MOBOTIX cameras provide digital pan, tilt and zoom functions, which operate like a "virtual PTZ" (Pan Tilt Zoom). You can control the PTZ features with a joystick or the mouse if the ActiveX component or MxControlCenter are used. In MxControlCenter, open the Options > <Camera Name (IP address)> tab and select MxProtocol as type in the PTZ/Rotor Control group box. Version 1.8 and higher of the MxControlCenter automatically set the MxProtocol type when adding MOBOTIX cameras. When using a web browser without ActiveX component, you can control the PTZ using mouse clicks for pan/tilt commands. The mouse wheel controls the zoom (max. 8x zoom level).
From this software version on, you can connect the MOBOTIX ExtIO with the cameras using a USB cable. The ExtIO expands the functionality of the MOBOTIX cameras by a powerful audio unit with microphone and speaker, a passive infrared motion detector, a temperature sensor and more signal inputs/outputs. The two keys on the unit allow easily implementing door communication solutions.
This feature provides recording on SD cards that can be inserted and changed by the user. The camera can use SD cards with a storage capacity of up to 16 GB. When recording to Flash storage devices (SD cards, internal Flash storage of R camera models or USB devices), the camera will only use the MOBOTIX Flash file system MxFFS, which has been designed especially for this purpose. MxFFS guarantees optimum performance and reliability. To activate the video storage on SD cards, open the Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device dialog.
Make sure that you understand the following hints before you use this feature:
Recording on a Flash device is an alternative to using a file server; combining both methods is not possible.
Recording in a integrated Flash storage device is only possible when using R models, which have been equipped with an 8 GB Flash storage device at the factory.
Make sure that the SD card is inserted properly into the camera:
M12: contacts point to the front of the camera.
D12: contacts point to the back of the camera.
D22: contacts point to the front of the camera.
Video data on SD cards or USB storage devices, which have been written using MxFFS can be viewed via a MOBOTIX camera or directly on a computer when running MxControlCenter(V1.8 or higher). MxControlCenter can read these storage devices when they connecting them to the USB port of a Windows computer; SD cards require a suitable card reader for this purpose.
Caution:
If
the MxFFS driver has not been installed yet, Windows will not
recognize MxFFS-formatted storage media. Instead, Windows will show
a message box prompting you format the device. Never answer Yes
when asked to format the device, since this will destroy the stored
data without any chance of recovery!
Without installed MxFFS driver, MxControlCenter will offer installing the MxFFS driver when you first access a Flash device that has been used in a MOBOTIX camera. Please note that installing this driver is only possible if you have the rights required for installing software on the Windows system!
Note that recording to a USB storage device is definitely slower than recording to an external file server or the integrated Flash storage of the camera. The maximum throughput when recording on SD cards depends to a large degree on the SD card that is being used. Depending on the manufacturer and the card model, the throughput varies extremely. In addition, the maximum data rate for writing the SD cards is considerably lower than the throughput specified by the manufacturer; this is true for all SD cards tested by MOBOTIX.
If the recording speed on Flash devices is too slow and the camera creates images faster than they can be stored, this will result in "lost events". If this is the case, you should reduce the frame rate and/or resolution for recording.
Warning:
When
disrupting the power supply of the camera or when removing a Flash
storage device (USB device or SD card) while recording, the camera
will loose data (the same applies when recording to a file server).
When using event or continuous recording, the camera can loose up to
12 seconds of data. In Snapshot recording mode, the camera can loose
only a few post-alarm images, the last event and the corresponding
pre-alarm images. To avoid this, deactivate the recording to the
Flash device before shutting off camera power. Open the Admin
Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device
dialog, activate the None option and reboot the camera before
removing the Flash storage device.
Camera displays an access error
If
the camera displays an access error, the SD card's write protection
is enabled. Remove the SD card in such a case, deactivate the write
protection and reinsert the card.
The D12D-180° ("Panorama") provides the new 180° View, which can be selected either using the Camera Selection Quick Control or in Setup Menu > General Image Settings > Camera Selection. This view provides an image consisting of the two images delivered by the L22 lenses in which the camera has corrected the lens distortion and which are merged in the center of the image. Before using this view, you should first adjust the two images into one 180° view:
Activate the 180° View in Setup Menu > General Image Settings > Camera Selection; the camera automatically enters the configuration mode.
The camera displays several icons in the live image for adjusting the two images. Click on the corresponding icon until you have created an optimum panorama image. The camera removes the lens distortion of the two sensors and you can zoom, rotate and move the two images using the on-screen icons until you get a good-quality dual image.
Once you are done, you can deactivate the Configuration Mode again and the camera delivers a panorama image.
A note on exposure
The exposure settings of the two sensors should be set in such a way that the exposure is measured in the center of the final panorama image. Assuming that the lighting conditions are somewhat identical in the center of the panorama image, one approach would be to use two exposure windows – in the left image the exposure window Right, for the right image sensor the exposure window Left.
Since the camera uses two separate image sensors to create a combined panorama image, it may show slight color differences between the two sensors, especially in situations with different illumination values for the two sensors!
The download of recorded video data has been expanded and improved. You can now download video data up to 8 GB in one tar file from the camera. This is also valid for video that has been stored on Flash devices (SD cards, USB devices).
Make sure that you understand the following hints before you use this feature:
Internet Explorer 6 and 7 can only download files with up to 4 GB! If the download is larger than this limit, the browsers will disrupt the download without any explanation. If you would like to download a file with more than 4 GB, you can use a different browser, such as Firefox.
When downloading a recording from Flash devices, the download speed is mostly dependent on the maximum reading speed of the device. For a CF card, this is about 1.5 MB/s, SD card will be read with about 700 kB/s – provided that the camera does not use the device for writing at the same time.
When downloading files to Flash devices (e.g. USB sticks), the FAT32 file system on these devices will prevent downloading any files larger than 2 GB.
The Event Logic feature now also allows combining negated events.
Example:
Application: Trigger an alarm when "detecting motion AND the key switch is not activated within 15 seconds".
Solution using Event Logic: Video motion AND (NOT (signal input within 15 seconds)).
Event A := VM (=Video
Motion)
Event B := SI (=signal
input)
Event Logic EL := (A and !B), with 15 seconds time
To define negated events, open the Event Logic dialog and set Order of Occurrence to A -> !B.
Open the General Image Settings dialog and activate the Noise Suppression option to use the improved two-stage noise filter, which is engaged when illumination drops below 2.6 lux.
When using the Day/Night switch of DNight models, the selected switching threshold (illumination in lux) will be used with better precision than before, even when switching from the night to the day sensor.
The buttons of the web-based user interface Set, Factory, Restore, Close and More, which are present in most of the dialogs, are now always visible at the bottom of the browser windows and are not influenced by scrolling the dialog contents.
VoIP/SIP connections with Quick
Setup
The Admin > VoIP Settings dialog now
allows selecting the Quick Configuration mode. In this mode,
the camera will create a new VoIP phone profile named quicksetup
using the SIP address of the first caller after activating this
mode. You can use this VoIP phone profile later on for automated SIP
calls when reacting to a signal input, for example (this could be a
door bell). If a profile with this name already exists, the camera
will append a consecutive number (e.g. quicksetup1).
Event search possible via SIP video connections
The
on-screen camera control menu for SIP video connections has been
expanded by another submenu. This new submenu allows navigating the
recorded camera events and also provides a time-based search for
events.
Note on SIP video:
A SIP connection on a 100 MBit network can create image noise on some video phones (e.g. Grandstream). If this is the case, you can reduce the speed of the MOBOTIX camera's network interface to 10 MBit/s (Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface, Ethernet Parameters section)
Variable for Displaying the
Buffer Usage
The new variable '$(STORAGE.BUFFERFILL)'
can display the current size of the transfer buffer. Large values
(more than 50%) are usually an indicator that file server storage is
too slow, resulting in "lost events" (i.e. not all events
could be stored successfully).
Connection Problems are
Displayed in MxPEG ActiveX Control
In case a camera cannot be
reached, the ActiveX control automatically tries to re-establish the
connection once every second. In addition, the ActiveX window shows
the elapsed time since the connection problems started.
Download of the Full Camera
Status in one File
In order to process very specific support
request or to facilitate troubleshooting, the Camera Status
can be saved as a whole in one single file. To use this feature,
open the <camera IP>/admin/report.dmp dialog. Select
the types of information you would like to export subsequently. This
will pack all relevant text files, images, a 'report.dmp'
file, etc., into one file named '<camera

file to the local computer. You can see the contents of the '*.eml'
file in any e-mail application, allowing you to display and send the
file.
Time Tables with more than 100
days
You can no define time tables that are spanning a total
of more than 100 days. Before, adding a time table that spanned more
than 100 days caused the camera to always activate its arming - or
to disarm the camera altogether (according to the settings of the
time table).

process although the recording was running without faults.
Adjusting the system time of
"time server" cameras
If the system time of a
camera differs too much from the integrated RTC (real-time clock),
the system time will be automatically adjusted to the RTC time. This
adjustment mechanism did not work on cameras that were used as time
server for other cameras.
Dual images distorted in
Multiwatcher
Dual images generated by Dual cameras had been
displayed distorted in the Multiwatcher.
FTP transfer did not transfer
event image
When transferring images via FTP using the Live

This software version can generate images in 3 Megapixel resolution (QXGA, 2048x1536 pixels). This resolution can be used for live video and for recording one image sensor. It is most useful on cameras with 3 Megapixel sensors (factory IP addresses 10.3.x.x and higher). If you need dual images from a dual camera, the maximum resolution of each image sensor is limited to MEGA (1280x960 pixels). You can select QXGA resolution using either the Resolution Quick Control in the camera's Live screen or in the Setup Menu > General Image Settings dialog.
The following new standard image formats are available with this version:
TV-CIF (352x288 pixels)
TV-PAL (704x576 pixels)
This feature allows using recording on non-volatile storage media, i.e. either the factory-integrated Flash storage in the camera or a USB storage device (stick or harddisk)! For this purpose, the MOBOTIX MxFFS file system has been developed, which guarantees optimum performance and high reliability. You can select one of these new storage methods—just like when storing to an external file server—in the Admin Menu > Storage on External File Server / Flash Device dialog.
Make sure that you understand the following hints before you use this feature:
Recording on a Flash device is an alternative to using a file server; combining both methods is not possible.
Recording in a integrated Flash storage device is only possible when using R models, which have been equipped with an 8 GB Flash storage device at the factory.
You should always use the new MOBOTIX MxFFS file system as recording format - even when using USB storage devices!
Video data on USB storage devices, which have been written using MxFFS can currently only be viewed via a MOBOTIX camera. A future version of MxControlCenter will be able to read such a USB storage device when connecting it to the USB port of a Windows computer.
Regardless of the file format used (FAT32 or MxFFS), recording to a USB storage device can be a lot slower than recording to an external file server or the integrated Flash storage within the camera. If the recording speed is too slow and the camera creates images faster than they can be stored, this will result in "lost events"! If this is the case, you should reduce the frame rate and/or resolution for recording.
Warning: You should make sure that you never disconnect a USB storage device without deactivating it first in the Admin Menu > Manage Hardware Expansions dialog since this may lead to serious loss of data. When using MxFFS, data loss is limited to 4 MB per incident; with FAT32, you may loose all data and the storage device may even be destroyed!
This feature allows defining an image section of any size as well as the desired resolution of that image section! To do so, set the next higher image resolution that completely contains the desired resolution, e.g. XGA. Next, draw a rectangle over the desired image section ([Shift]-click, then click) and select Resolution > Custom Size in the Quick Controls of the Live screen to use the current setting. As an alternative, you can also use the Setup Menu > General Image Settings dialog to configure this feature.
When using graphical means to define the image section, a [Shift]-click, [Ctrl]-click (instead of [Shift]-click, click) will draw a rectangle that always has the same ratio of width to height as the currently displayed image.
Using this method, you can create image sections with any desired ratio of width to height—even squares are possible.
The following additional parameters, which control the triggering behavior can be added to the definitions of every VM window (the sequence of the parameters is of no importance any more):
a=<minimum
percentage of the area, which needs to change>, [0..99], default:
20
am=<maximum
percentage of the area, which may change>, [0..99], default: not
used
s=<sensitivity to use when detecting
changes>, [0..99], a smaller value is more likely to trigger a
window, default: 20 for regular, 10 for reference windows
Example:
0,540,380,200,200,a=25,am=80,s=5
Since the basic codec settings have been further optimized, the camera can now easier establish SIP video connections to video phones.
The file server tests when storing video on an external file server can now be started with a delay after rebooting the camera. This allows adjusting a nightly camera reboot to a reboot of a NAS system used for recording, for example. Use the Startup Delay parameter in the Admin Menu > Storage Failure Detection dialog to configure this feature.
The new Admin Menu > Error Notification dialog provides several options for getting notifications on errors that are detected within the different systems of the camera by e-mail, FTP or network messages as well as sound and visual means. In addition, you can define notifications, which the camera sends in case of unexpected reboots (i.e. reboots not triggered by the user).
The Multiwatcher configuration dialog now opens the camera list in a separate window. In addition, the camera immediately verifies the camera user name and password information.
When configuring the signal output of the camera, you can now set a default state (On or Off) after a camera reboot. Previously, the signal output had always been set to Off after rebooting.
Microphone Deactivated When
Making Audio Announcements
Making audio announcements from
MxControlCenter or the ActiveX control via the camera's speaker
sometimes resulted in a back coupling effect, i.e. the last part of
the announcement from the camera speaker were sent back to the
computer running MxControlCenter or the ActiveX control. The camera
will now automatically switch off the microphone as long as the
camera speaker is active.
Default time zone of the
Japanese version was wrong
The default time zone of the
Japanese version is now once again Asia/Tokyo.
Dropouts on 1 Megapixel image
sensors and "Fast Mode"
Using 1 Megapixel image
sensors in "Fast Mode" sometimes resulted in faulty
dropout correction and visible dropouts in dark scenes.
EiP images with color faults (1 Megapixel sensors
only)
Cameras with 1 Megapixel sensors sometimes showed EiP
(Event in Picture) images with faulty colors.

Besides the existing zoom features that are accessible via the camera's 1x Zoom, 2x Zoom, 4x Zoom softbuttons and the Zoom Quick Controls above the live image (Zoom (right) and Zoom (left) for Dual models), you can now use the new Zoom to Rectangle feature to adjust the camera zoom to a graphically defined rectangle in the live image. To define the rectangle, simply [Shift]-click into the image to set the start point, then click again into the image to set the second corner of the rectangle diagonally across, and the camera will display a yellow frame where you clicked. If you open the Zoom Quick Control and select the Zoom to Rectangle function, the camera will proportionally scale the image so as to fit it into the rectangle that you just defined. The current zoom level is displayed in the lower right corner of the image, provided that the message symbols have not been switched off.
When generating preview image e.g. for devices with limited bandwidth, the camera can now produce two new formats besides the existing PDA format with 160×120pixels, which can be pulled using the HTTP API:
CIF with 320×240 pixels
VGA with 640×480 pixels
For the weather stations of Rheinhardt System- und Messelektronik GmbH and Davis Instruments, new variables have been added, which allow displaying additional information from the weather stations in the camera's images.
Using the Set Default View softbutton sets a default position and zoom setting for a zoomed image, which is then reproduced by clicking on the Load Default View softbutton. You can now lock this default view in Setup Menu > General Image Settings by setting Zoom Lock > Lock Default View; without the Image Settings right in Admin Menu > Group Access Control Lists, this default view cannot be changed.

This version is required to activate and control a CamIO expansion box connected to an M22 camera. Open the Admin Menu > Manage Hardware Expansions dialog to activate a MOBOTIX CamIO. Open www.mobotix.com, Services > Manuals section to find more information on the features and how to set up a MOBOTIX CamIO in the CamIO user manual.
Caution: This software has been released
only for M22 and D22 cameras!
Make sure that you are
using software version 3.1.0.26
for M12 and D12 cameras.
The camera implementation of the MOBOTIX MxPEG video codec has been redesigned and improved, effectively avoiding the "MxPEG tiling effects", which appeared in the live and recorded images under certain circumstances. In addition, the new codec has an improved performance when the camera records "normal" movement in the image (up to 30% of the pixels), resulting in slightly improved image rates.
IMPORTANT:
The actual encoding and storage schemes of the
detected and transferred MxPEG tiles remain unchanged. Existing
applications that obtain and decode an MxPEG stream from the camera
will continue to work as before!
The new Admin Menu > IP-Level Access Control dialog allows granting or denying access based on rules that define the IP address/subnets you would like to control. Using this method, you can easily prevent access to the camera for specific parts of a network while granting access for other subnets or specific IP addresses.
The new Intrusion Detection Settings section in the Admin Menu > Web Server dialog provides several options for detecting and preventing unauthorized access to the camera. For instance, you can set up the camera to send an e-mail to an administrator, place a call or send a network message to another computer if one IP address attempts to log on to the camera unsuccessfully five times.
When sending an e-mail, the camera will automatically attach the web server log file. If the e-mail profile used for sending the e-mail already has a defined attachment, this attachment will be replaced by the web server log file.
If IP-Level Access Control has been set up, the camera can automatically block the IP address, from which the unsuccessful logins had been attempted.
This software release provides the following new image resolutions:
D1-CIF (384x288)
SVGA (800x600)
XGA (1024x768)
In addition, the D1-PAL (768x576) image format is now created from the entire image and not only from a partial image.
Besides the know zoom settings of x2 and x4, the camera now offers the x1.6 and x3.2 zoom settings.
The image quality is now set using one of these three settings:
High (best image quality – lowest frame rate)
Standard
Fast (lowest image quality – highest frame rate)
You can set the image quality either via the Image Quality Quick Control or in the Setup Menu > General Image Settings dialog. The image quality setting mainly controls if every pixel of the image sensor is used or if several pixels are combined into one, early in the image generation process within the camera.
The Setup Menu > Exposure Settings dialog allows settings different Exposure Programs in the Exposure Time section. These programs control whether the camera will use shorter or longer exposure times when lighting conditions are poor. Shorter exposure times (programs -1, -2) reduce motion blur, but can lead to increased image noise. Longer exposure times (programs +1, +2) reduce the image noise, but can lead to increased motion blur. The application at hand determines which exposure program is best for the situation.
In order to improve support of different application scenarios, the following Image Programs can be set using the corresponding Quick Control above the Live image.
Fast
Security Application
quality
High Quality
Webcam
Selecting an image program will open a new window, which automatically performs a number of different settings that lead to the desired image quality and frame rate. Besides setting the image quality, the camera will also set the appropriate exposure programs, MxPEG settings, JPEG quality and other parameters. The popup dialog contains a list of all settings that will be changed when selecting an image program; you can choose whether or not to proceed with these settings.
The Fast and Security Application image programs put a higher priority on a higher image rate and reduced motion blur by using shorter exposure times than in the standard program. On the other hand, the High Quality and Webcam image programs put a higher priority on a higher image quality and reduced image noise by using longer exposure times than in the standard program.
Apart from the changes already described above, the following items have changed in the Setup Menu > Exposure Settings dialog.
Minimum Average
Brightness:
When lighting conditions are poor and the
selected Average Brightness cannot be reached even using the
maximum exposure time, the image exposure will corrected up to the
setting of this parameter. Since this may produce significant image
noise when looking at very dark scenes even before this value is
reached, you should activate the Night Improvement (see next
item) to make sure that this parameter is working properly. When
deactivating night improvement, the resulting image can also be
darker than the selected Minimum Average Brightness.
Night Improvement:
When activating night
improvement, the camera software will make sure that the selected
Minimum Average Brightness will always be maintained, even
though this may lead to high image noise when lighting conditions
are poor. This parameter only has the settings On and Off,
the Auto value has been removed.
All entries of the Quick Controls (pulldown lists above the live image of the camera in the browser) have been reworked and regrouped.
The Admin Menu > Time and Date dialog now allows selecting from all relevant time zones:
Africa

This enhancement allows using a Windows domain controller login or an Active Directory Service (ADS) for external video recording on a file server. The Admin Menu > Event Storage on external file server dialog has to be set to Remote CIFS File Server (instead of Remote SMB File Server). The user has to be a fully qualified domain user. This enhancement also resulted in a redesign of the corresponding camera dialog.
In addition, using CIFS instead of SMB also solves a well-known problem that exists when recording images to a Linux Samba server using the SMB protocol (see below under Bugfixes).
To use SSL/TLS, open the Admin Menu > Web Server
dialog, activate Enable HTTPS, save the configuration to flash
and restart (reboot) the camera. The camera can now be accessed via
SSL so that all the web pages and camera images are encrypted before
being transferred. Use https://<camera
IP> instead of http://<camera
IP> in the URL to load the camera's web page in the browser
and ensure encrypted communication.
Open the Multiwatcher using the new Multiwatcher softbutton; it replaces the Event Watcher. The Multiwatcher enables the simultaneous viewing and surveillance of multiple cameras. It displays the live image of the camera, the last event image and a list of alarms for each camera added. The configuration also supports password-protected cameras. The Multiwatcher allows simple access to and thus viewing of multiple cameras, that may, for instance, be in a network behind a Firewall or NAT-Router, without requiring that all of these cameras be accessible from or visible from the Internet. Only the camera that is to function as the Multiwatcher needs to be configured to be accessible from the Internet. This camera will function as a Proxy camera and obtains the live images, event images and event information from all other cameras and forwards them to your browser in the Multiwatcher of that camera. Using the new Preview mode images is also implemented in the camera, thus ensuring that only a small amount of uplink bandwidth from your network is used. All images shown in the Multiwatcher are reduced to PDA resolution by the cameras themselves.
Regular FTP transmission allowed for a maximum of only one image per minute. his new function allows transferring several camera images per minute via FTP - almost as if in a smooth stream (hence the name: FTP Streaming). This means that an image on a website can be updated at short intervals. Open Admin Menu > FTP Profiles and click on More to activate and set a profile and update interval in the Streaming FTP section. This dialog also allows setting an illumination threshold, which stops FTP streaming if illumination falls below the selected value. If this value is exceeded again, the camera will resume transmission.
The following enhancements have been implemented in the Admin Menu > VoIP Settings dialog:
Video resolution and video size can now be configured and are independent from the values for the live image displayed in the browser.
The video telephony features can be used even though the MxPEG image codec is enabled.
The implementation of SIP video is H.263-conformant so that SIP video can now be used in conjunction with hardware video phones.
You can deactivate the intercom threshold in Admin Menu > ISDN Audio Call-in.
The camera can signal the call status on the camera speaker in Admin Menu > VoIP Settings.
You can use the MxPEG codec of the camera when retrieving the video stream from the camera. This video stream has been optimized and usually contains no JPEG full images (I frames). Now, however, a full image can be sent periodically by adding the new iframerefresh=[n] parameter when calling the faststream.jpg CGI script; n is set to the interval in seconds before a full image is sent.
Example for obtaining one I-Frame every 5 seconds:
http://<camera-IP>/control/faststream.jpg?iframerefresh=5
You can now set different zoom levels and panning positions for different lenses. The zoom level can be adjusted/set in two different ways:
By using Zoom Quick Control (pulldown menu) on the Live screen.
By changing the Digital Zoom parameter in Setup > General Image Settings.
Clicking directly in the image when the zoom level is greater than 1x changes the pan position of the visible image section.
A new selection box allows choosing the continent followed by a selection box for choosing the time zone/city.
Time zone selection for Australia now includes all Australian time zones.
The addition of a new Preview mode provides a method for displaying camera images and saving bandwidth at the same time. Image size is fixed at 160x120 pixels when the camera shows the image of one sensor and 320x160 pixels for two image sensors. Open the Admin Menu > Language and Start Page dialog to activate/deactivate this feature. This mode only affects the display of the live images in the browser or in MxControlCenter. The resolution of images that are stored to an external file server, for example, remain unchanged.
The HTTP API has been expanded to include the preview parameter for accessing the live and alarm images. This method pulls the images from a camera at a reduced preview size of 160x120 pixels, regardless of the current size/resolution set in the camera, thereby drastically reducing bandwidth.
Examples:http://<camera-IP>/cgi-bin/image.jpg?previewhttp://<camera-IP>/control/faststream.jpg?previewhttp://<camera
IP>/control/event.jpg?preview
The camera CGI program <camera
IP>/control/rcontrol has been expanded by the
following additional features:
- voipphone
- voipcall
-
voiphangup
- voiprestart
This means that you can trigger
VoIP/SIP phone calls from the camera using the HTTP API. The VoIP
address, which is to be called, can be added as additional parameter
or by using a VoIP profile already defined in the camera.
The focus of some camera lenses can be adjusted by the users. In order to simplify focusing the lens(es), the camera can display a bar that shows how well the lens has been focused: A green bar displays the maximum focus obtained since the function was activated and a red bar displays the current focus. Activate the Focusing Aid parameter in the Quick Controls in the Live screen.
Note: The focus adjustment only affects the currently selected camera image sensor.
The Sensitivity parameter of the video motion window definitions is not available any more. When defining video motion windows, the following parameters are used (max. area is optional):
Lens, x, y, width, height, area (0..99%)[, max. area (0..99%)]
M12/D12 RS232 serial
connection problems (modem, weather stations)
Errors
would sometimes occur during data transfer and/or the connection
could be lost when the camera had been connected to a modem or
weather station via the RS232 connector.
Network configuration from
MxControlCenter using the camera's Bonjour address did not work
reliably
Reconfiguring the camera's IP address and
subnet mask using MxControlCenter did not work reliably. In addition
to this, the changes to the network configuration were lost when the
camera was restarted unless these changes had been saved to flash
manually in the browser interface of the camera.
Errors when accessing
events stored on file server using SMB
Player and
storage problems would often occur when the camera was storing
images via SMB to an external Linux Samba server and simultaneously
playing back events in the cameras player or Via the camera in
MxControlCenter. In these cases, playback would often halt and/or
the camera would lose event images because it could not write to the
server. The cause of this problem is a combination of using a Linux
server with a 2.6 kernel and a Linux SMB client also on a 2.6 kernel
(such as MOBOTIX cameras).
This problem can be solved by using
the CIFS protocol (see Support for Active
Directory Service (ADS) / Windows 2003 File Server Storage via
CIFS).
Odd colors in overexposed
image areas
Odd colors would often be displayed in
overexposed areas of the image. This became apparent when a normally
white area of the image was very brightly illuminated, causing these
areas to sometimes have a light pink, turquoise or light yellow
tint.
Using DynDNS and DHCP at the same time
The
camera can now use the DynDNS client while DHCP/BOOTP is activated.
Creation Date: 2007-02-27
Publishing Date: 2007-03-30
This service (also called Zeroconf) automatically finds and displays MOBOTIX cameras in MxControlCenter (from version 1.4.x) and in web browsers that support Bonjour. This service has been activated in all new MOBOTIX cameras. After updating a camera with older software to version 3.0.8.7, the Bonjour service is deactivated by default (only if you did not reset the network settings to factory defaults). Open the Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface dialog if you would like to activate (or deactivate) Bonjour. The so-called Link Local Address assigned by the Bonjour service is displayed in the Camera Status dialog box in the Network section.
You can now use the following additional time zones in MOBOTIX cameras:
Canada/Atlantic (AST, ADT), with updated daylight savings time from March 2007
Europe/Sofia (EET/EEST)
Europe/Bucharest (EET/EEST)
Thanks to a new post-filtering system, false alarms from VM windows have been further reduced.
By factory default, Video Motion Night Mode (disables video motion detection if illumination falls below the selected value) is now deactivated. If video motion detection has been activated, low illumination will not deactivate VM detection by default.
When configuring D12 models with lenses that have not been factory-installed, you can use the corresponding Quick Installation pages to set the image sensors.
When using D12 models in dual image mode, the camera now reaches half the frame rate of single image mode, provided both image sensors are using the same exposure time. When using different exposure times, the camera will reach one third of the frame rate of single image mode.
The default values of the "Minefield" VM mode have
been changed from 35/10 (sensitivity/area) to 20/25. To activate this
mode, the Video Motion Definitions (VM)
text field may only contain the entry 0,minefield
(right image sensor) or 1,minefield
(left image sensor); the remaining parameters of the VM windows apply
accordingly.
Image interference at certain camera models with
specific lens combinations
The following models
displayed image interference:
V12 models with two day lenses (one top, one bottom)
M12 models with one Super Wide-Angle lens (22mm) and a different lens
GSM/GPRS modem connection

Playing back
events in the browser using the ActiveX plug-in did not work on
cameras, which had been assigned a web server port other than port
80.
Java applet did not work
properly
When using the Java applet, the camera's
live was not displayed any more. This has been fixed in version 1.7
of the Java applet, which has been compiled using Java 5.
Error when many VM windows
(>60) triggered at the same time
If more than
60 VM windows triggered at the same time, the camera sometimes
produced a memory overflow error.
Error panning in D12
panorama images
Setting pan/tilt positions on D12
models in panorama mode did not work reliably.
Master/slave errors when
using long IP addresses
Using the master/slave
mechanism on cameras with long IP addresses (three digits in all
four address segments) sometimes resulted in errors.
Error in event structure
of FTP profiles
Erroneous evaluation when using
the event structure. When using 1 second pre-alarm and no
post-alarm, the camera only stored four Annnn.jpg files while the
event image was missing. When using 2 seconds pre-alarm, 2 fps
and no post-alarm, the camera stored one additional Pnnnn.jpg file.
Error in day/night
switching
When repeatedly switching back and forth
between the day and night image sensors, switching sometimes
occurred delayed.
Errors in Video Motion
Night Mode when using the same VM definitions on both image
sensors
When using the same VM definitions on both
image sensors, the VM Night Mode produced errors: the defined values
for deactivating VM detection had been interchanged.
Answers to HTTP requests
now contain CRLF instead of LF only
The answers
sent by the camera to HTTP requests now contain CRLF characters
instead of LF as line breaks.
Weekly time tables for
logo profiles had been ignored in FTP transfers
When
transferring images using FTP, the time tables for the logo profiles
were being ignored.
Error opening some dialogs
in other languages in Internet Explorer
The
Spanish and Japanese versions of the camera software sometimes
displayed an empty page when opening some dialogs in Internet
Explorer.
New ActiveX version
1.2.23
This version allows using the 'httpclip'
method also for ports other than port 80. This version also removes
a memory leak in the ActiveX component.
Memory leak in camera when
sending e-mails or using FTP transfer
When sending
many e-mails or transferring many files via FTP, camera operation
was sometimes showing irregularities.
Error calculating the correct white balance in
extreme lighting conditions
When using exposure
windows for calculating the white balance (white balance not set to
Total), extreme lighting conditions
sometimes led to a situation in which too few image pixels were used
for calculating the white balance.
Creation Date: 2006-11-20
This version is now available in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian.
When setting a MOBOTIX V12 to DHCP, the camera will automatically announce its current IP address on the loudspeaker after rebooting. This feature can be disabled in the Loudspeaker and Microphone dialog.
The maximum switching delay has been increased from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Day/night switching has also been changed to be more reliable when switching back to the day lens if illumination is sufficient.
The internal settings of the Automatic WB (white balance) default color profile have be changed to prevent the camera from delivering faulty colors when very bright colors are in the image.
The ActiveX control for fast display of MxPEG streams in Internet Explorer has been updated to version 1.2.19. This version shows a small MxPEG logo when switching from the Player to the Live screen, which is briefly displayed in the lower left corner of the image. This version only contains some minor changes and bugfixes, which are only relevant if you are using the ActiveX control in your own application.
DHCP problem with D12 cameras and closed signal

Hence, these release notes also
combines the release notes of the M22 software versions (3.0.3.x)
and the first M12/D12 software version (3.0.6.24).
After updating to software release 3.0.6.29, M22 cameras cannot be simply downgraded to an older software release (3.0.3.x)!
The layout of this dialog has been redesigned. On M12/D12 cameras, you can activate "Line In" as an optional input for audio signals from an external microphone. This option also allows setting three different levels of sensitivity for audio input.
The ActiveX control for fast display of MxPEG streams in Internet Explorer has been updated to version 1.2.18. This version shows a small MxPEG logo when switching from the Player to the Live screen. The logo is displayed is briefly visible in the lower left corner. This version only contains some minor changes and bugfixes, which are only relevant if you are using the ActiveX control in your own application.
Various problems when
using event storage on a file server
When writing
events to a file server, problems occurred when the assigned storage
space was used up and file server storage was in "ring buffer"
mode. Problems occurred when files which were to be deleted had been
opened from other applications (such as MxControlCenter) or when the
file server structure had been compromised by manually removing
files or directories. In such a case, the camera sometimes stopped
storing event files on the file server.
Disruptions when
generating images of extremely dark and noisy images
When
the camera was recording very dark scenes with a lot of image noise,
image generation was sometimes disrupted, prompting a restart of the
EventD process.
Event deadtime and arming error
When
disarming the camera while the camera was still counting down the
deadtime of a specific event, the camera deactivated this event
permanently.
Creation Date: 2006-09-08
This is the first productive software release for the MOBOTIX M12 and D12 cameras as replacement for the M10/D10 cameras.
The MOBOTIX M12/D12 cameras are based on the same new hardware platform as the M22 cameras. When compared to the MOBOTIX M10/D10 cameras, the most significant changes result from the much more powerful CPU. Using the new hardware, the M12/D12 cameras can deliver up to 30 images per second in VGA resolution.
Hardware Differences between M12/D12 and M10/D10
From
the outside, the M12/D12 cameras differ only slightly from the
M10/D10 cameras.
D Sub 15 HD connector instead of D Sub 9 connector, with pins for serial interface, Line In/Out, backup power , USB Master.
SD card slot.
Internal CF slots for MOBOTIX expansion modules (only installed at the factory).
Ethernet interface of the camera supports 10/100 Mbps networks.
Power supply using network components that support the PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) standard IEEE 802.3af.
Direct power supply via ISDN NT is not possible any more, but can be injected into 8-wire cable (split cable required).
The software of the M12/D12 cameras (operation, user interface, features) is mostly identical to the software of MOBOTIX M10/D10 and the M22 cameras.
The M12/D12 camera models now include all newer software features that had only been available in the M22 cameras (thanks to the newer hardware) and not in the M10/D10 cameras. This pertains to features like Fast Mode, Quality Mode, Event in Picture, Picture in Zoom and SIP-Video.
Differences between the M12/D12 cameras and the M22 only exist in the features that are specific to Dual camera features, since the M22 only has one image sensor.
For a detailed description of all differences in the hard-
and software, please refer to chapter 1.4 of the M12 Camera User
Manual Part 1.
Please download the manual from
http://www.mobotix.com/eng/support/manuals.
The following list describes the new features, enhancements, improvements and bugfixes as compared to the software release 2.2.3.18 of the MOBOTIX M10/D10 cameras and 3.0.3.31 of the MOBOTIX M22 cameras.
As compared to the software 2.2.3.18 of the MOBOTIX M10/D10 cameras, the following new features have been added to the software:
High frame rate—up to 30 fps VGA
Additional display modes (Event in Picture, Picture in Zoom, Panorama)
"Download and save image to local computer" button for storing the live image
These features were partly also available in the 3.0.3.x
M22 software versions; see the corresponding release notes below.
In
addition to the features of software release 3.0.3.31 of the M22, the
following features are new:
VoIP with support for SIP video
Event download to USB stick
The new MOBOTIX M12/D12 cameras can deliver up to 30 images per second in VGA resolution. Click on the "Fast Mode (30 fps)" button to set all required options (see description further down).
The Quick Controls above the live image contain the new "Display Mode" item with the "Event in Picture ", "Picture in Zoom" and "Panorama" modes.
Displays the last event image in the bottom right corner of the current live image.
When the image has been zoomed (2x, 4x), this mode shows an overview image in the bottom right corner of the current live image. Clicking into the full image with the (left) mouse button will move the center of the zoomed image to the desired position.
This display mode is only available for D12 and DevKit cameras. It shows a dual image (both sensors) with the current resolution and a smaller overview image in the bottom right corner. The overview image does not change, regardless of zoom actions. As opposed to the regular dual image mode (Both), the digital zoom accepts only one center position and zooms in/out using this position as center. This feature is thus different from the dual image mode and provides a digital pan/tilt feature. You can set the new zoom center (=panning/tilting) either by clicking into the panorama image or into the overview image in the bottom right corner.
This button stores the current live image from the camera as a JPG file. The proposed name consists of the camera name and a timestamp.
Click on this softbutton to configure the camera for delivering the maximum frame rate of 30 fps with VGA resolution. The dialog lists all required settings; click on Yes to use the proposed settings.
Click on this softbutton to configure the camera for delivering optimum image using the MxPEG video codec.
The "VoIP Settings" dialog now also allows transmitting the video signal when using SIP telephony. SIP video is using the H.263 video codec. This allows using softphones (eyeBeam, ...) to establish SIP audio/video connections to the camera either directly over the LAN or via SIP providers.
When downloading events, a USB stick can now also serve as
download target.
CAUTION: The
M12/D12 cameras do not have a USB Master connector. In order to use a
USB stick, you need an adapter D Sub 15 HD to USB master. The
corresponding camera manual part 1 contains detailed information
and the pin-out of the D Sub 15 HD connector.
If required, you can select different Link Speed and Duplex settings.
Enhanced appearance of the Video Motion windows
All
VM windows are now displayed with a number. This number is applied
according to the position of each window in the VM definition list.
To be able to differentiate between the VM windows of the two VM
sets (VM and VM2), all VM2 windows are displayed with a blue
frame.
CAUTION: The number
always corresponds to the position within each specific set (VM and
VM2).
VM filter against false
alarms due to changes in illumination
This
additional filter prevents the vast majority of the VM-induced false
alarms from changes in illumination. This VM filter will not catch
changes in illumination that are too large (e.g. "Lights are
switched on").
Display of left image
sensor on PDA pages
The commands http://<camera
IP>/pda/sl, http://<camera
IP>/pda/ml, http://<camera
IP>/pda/ll will display the image of the left
image sensor in the desired size.
Attaching file server
error messages to e-mails or IP Notify messages of file server
checks
Up until now, the texts of e-mail and IP
Notify messages sent from the file server checks were sometimes
overwritten by the file server error messages. The File Server
Checks dialog now allows attaching the file server error messages.
The text defined in the corresponding profile will not be
overwritten.
Proposed name for downloaded event images has
changed
The proposed name now follows this
syntax:events_<camera
name>_<date>_<time>.tar,
Example:
events_mx10-2-12-168_2006-09-15_1146.tar
The Microphone event was
not available in M22 models
The "Microphone"
event is available again.
Error in the Quick
Controls of Basic/Web models
Camera models without
microphone allowed setting the microphone sensitivity in the Quick
Controls (above the live image), which produced an error.
Network problems when
operating M22 cameras in DHCP mode
Running an M22
camera in DHCP mode could result in network problems, resulting in
faulty images or errors when displaying or closing camera dialogs.
Comment Text Forwarding of
"IP Receive" event did not work
The
option of the "IP Receive" event for Comment Text
Forwarding ("Off", "Add date & time", "Add
client IP address", "Add timestamp and IP address")
did not work. The text received by the "IP Receive" event
was forwarded without formatting and also appeared in the image and
in the JPG comment when set to "Off".
Signal output was reset
when switching the current image sensor
A signal
output signal that had been set to "high" using the HTTP
API was reset to "low" when switching the image sensor.
Faulty images when
selecting the wrong parameters in the exposure settings
When
inverting the settings for the minimum and maximum exposure times
(e.g. min.=1/5s and max.=1/8000s),
the camera sometimes produced images with a lot of image noise.
Selecting wrong values will now be corrected by the camera software.
Mouse-over feature not
available in MultiView after "Stop" had been pressed
The
MultiView screen now again enlarges the images when bringing the
mouse over the corresponding image. This will work for both the
event and the live images on the MultiView screen.
"^" in modem
initialization strings not sent correctly to the modem
The
string that is sent to the modem can now also contain the "^"
character. This character had been interpreted as a control
character before.
Ignored image profiles
selected via HTTP API when using FTP transfer
If
an HTTP command specified an image profile (e.g. http://<camera
IP>/control/rcontrol?action=ftpcurrent&profile=<profile
name>), the image profile was ignored. Instead,
the camera always transferred the live image.
Line at the right image
border when using 180° image rotation on M22 cameras
When
rotating the image of an M22 by 180 degrees, the right image border
showed a line approx. four pixels wide and the borders appeared to
be out of focus.
SI event triggered too
late, especially when using Mega resolution
When
using the SI (signal input) event set to "High" or "Low",
the software will ignore the de-bounce time, which drastically
reduces the time required for triggering.
Limitations:
-
When using rising or falling flanks, delays of up to two seconds may
occur.
- In order to avoid delays on the other signal inputs
(SI2, SI3, ...), you should use the
same trigger condition as for the SI event. Setting
"SI-High", "SI2-Low" and "SI3-Low"
could lead to delays when triggering SI2 and SI3!
Arming using the SI had
been switched
Setting "Arming > SI Open
(high)" disarmed the camera when it detected this state of the
signal input, "Arming > SI Closed (low)" armed the
camera. This behavior was exactly the opposite of what should have
been expected!
CAUTION:
This
change has implications on the HTTP API for arming.
The following
HTTP commands have changed:
http://<camera
IP>/control?read§ion=action<parameter>
http://<camera
IP>/control?set§ion=action<parameter>
in the
following sections:
settings
recording
action
message
message2
eventcontrol
The meaning of "open" and "closed" has
changed in the listed sections:
|
Old |
New |
Meaning |
|---|---|---|
|
open |
si_close |
Armed, when closed |
|
close |
si_open |
Armed, when open |
IP Notify (network)
messages could not be sent to more than ten recipients
It
is now possible to enter more than ten recipients.
Wrong file names when using FTP event transfer with
the "MxPEG clip" and "Event Directory"
options
This resulted in MxControlCenter not
being able to play back the MxPEG clips created by the camera.
Software Release M22-V3.0.3.31Creation Date: 2006-06-27
New FeaturesSpeaker Icon on the Player ScreenThe Player screen now has a speaker icon that can be used to
toggle the sound recorded by the camera on or off—provided that you
are using Internet Explorer on a Windows computer.
Enhancements and Improvements* Security Patch Prevents Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) *This patch prevents Cross-Site Scripting, i.e. the camera
will not execute JavaScript code it has received via manipulated
URLs.
Improvements of the Expanded Softbuttons"Fast Mode (30 fps)" SoftbuttonThe frequency of the power supply will be left unchanged,
i.e. it will not be set to 50 Hz as before. The dialog now
contains a hint that the camera can deliver 25 frames per second
(fps) at 50 Hz or 30 fps at 60 Hz.
"Best Image" SoftbuttonThe softbutton uses slightly changed values than before.
Likewise, it now opens a dialog, which shows all configuration
changes, allowing you to approve or cancel the changes.
BugfixesMemory leak—invisible
instances of the IE ActiveX componentThis error
sometimes prevented deactivating the camera sound when using the
ActiveX control. This error also played the live sound picked up by
the camera microphone when reviewing recorded events in the Player
screen.
When renaming ACL
groups, it was possible to create duplicate
group names.
The German
user interface still contained English
texts in the dropdown lists of the Quick Controls:
"Loudspeaker...“,
„Microphone
Sensitivity...“
The softbutton
captions can again contain special characters
(e.g. Hebrew or Arabic).
The camera used the wrong
time when triggering a periodic event (PE)
after the camera had performed a
day/night switch.
When setting the hangup
time for VoIP connections to "Never", the
VoIP connection broke off after the camera initially answered the
call.
Color distortions in dark
images Dark images sometimes shows distorted
colors, especially when colored sources of light (e.g. car
backlights) where in the image.
Image flickered when bright sources of light were in
the image Extremely bright sources of light
(e.g. when the camera looked directly into the sun), the image
started flickering periodically.
When changing
the exposure settings (Setup Menu) with the camera
in the dark, the camera showed a short "flashing",
i.e. image exposure was off for one image.
Manually deleting the
"access" section of a
camera configuration file made all camera pages publicly accessible
instead of using the factory default settings.
Texts received in a network
message were sometimes clipped
after the last blank in the text.
After rebooting, the Admin dialog showed the wrong
tooltip "zoomexpfield"
for the Store menu item.
Software Release M22-V3.0.3.26Creation Date: 2006-05-11
New Features
Additional Quick Controls and Expanded Softbuttons"Microphone Sensitivity" Quick Control MenuAllows setting three different levels of sensitivity for the
camera microphone.
"Speaker Volume" Quick Control DialogAllows setting all volume levels for the camera speaker and
can play back the camera sound files on the speaker.
"Speaker" IconThis new button allows activating/deactivating the audio
channel from the camera microphone, provided you are using Microsoft
Internet Explorer on a Windows computer.
"High-Quality Image" IconAllows configuring the camera to deliver the best image
quality.
Enhancements and ImprovementsMaster/Slave (Configuration and Help Pages)
The options for controlling
the Master/Slave feature and for setting the IP address of the
Master have been moved from the Admin menu to Setup
Menu > General Event Settings.
Online help pages have been added accordingly.
Behavior of the Expanded Softbuttons (Arm & Record,
Audio On, Fast Mode, Quality Mode)Settings can be Stored in FlashIf
desired, the settings from using the expanded softbuttons can be
stored in the camera's flash memory. This option can be deactivated
in the dialogs called by the individual softbuttons.
Arm & Record: VM window
The
default VM window will only be set if no other windows have been
defined.
VoIP ImprovementsThe Audio
messages can be deactivated.
The Audio
Data Timeout (the time after which the camera hangs
up when no audio data are received) can now be configured: Admin
Menu > VoIP Settings.
The Call
Duration can be set to Unlimited.
When using DNS, you
can configure NAT address resolution:
If
the camera is running behind a router with a dynamic IP address
(e.g. regular DSL connection), it can determine the router's
external IP address, if the router uses a DynDNS service to publish
its external IP address. To use this feature, enter the router's
DynDNS name as NAT address in the VoIP Settings dialog.
Other ImprovementsThe Arming
Delay/Disarming Delay when using the signal input
(SI) can now be configured
in the Setup Menu > General Event Settings
dialog.
The 'Image' section of the
JPEG Comment image data has been
revised.
The Camera Status dialog now also shows the current
Operating Mode (Quality/Fast Mode) in the "Image Settings"
section.
BugfixesThe camera
microphone could not be enabled for
IT models.
On IT
models, activating audio for MxPEG recording
(event/snapshot) did not work.
Frequency of Power Supply
60 Hz (3.0.3.18)
Setting the frequency of the
power supply to 60 Hz sometimes had been ignored.
Showing the VM frames
when detecting a VM event was only possible using two options
(Off, On and highlight on event).
Duplicates and Errors
When Storing the Retrigger Events in Snapshot Recording Mode
This
error could lead to different folder contents on the file server and
in the internal event ramdisk. If this was the case, the camera
event Player and MxControlCenter with direct file server access
showed different event images.
Triggering a User
Click event via VoIP touchtones (DTMF) did not
work.
VoIP remote control
deactivation had been ignored.
Wrong colors with bright
white areasDue to an overrun in the
amplification routine, the camera displayed bright white areas with
wrong colors (turquoise, pink instead of white).
IP Notify error: When
sending empty network messages, the sending camera
sometimes produced error messages.
IP Notify error: When
sending IP Notify network messages using the HTTP protocol (even to
itself), the camera sometimes produced errors when
sending the message.
IP Notify error: When receiving IP
messages for the IP Receive event, the sender
address was not determined correctly. This produced
warning messages of the EventD and the address did not appear in the
JPEG header of the image files.
Software M22-V3.0.3.17Creation Date: 2006-03-28
Notes:This is the first
productive software release for the MOBOTIX M22 cameras.
The software of the M22 cameras is mostly identical to
the software of MOBOTIX M10/D10 cameras (operation, user interface,
features). Differences only occur in the features that are specific
to the M22 (Fast Mode, Quality Mode, EiP, PiZ—see below) and the
Dual camera features, since the M22 only has one image sensor.
The following list describes the new features, enhancements,
improvements and bugfixes as compared to the software release
V2.2.2.17 of the MOBOTIX M10/D10 cameras.
Revised Model Feature MatrixThe difference in the software features of the Basic, Web,
IT and Secure models have been revised and partly changed. The
following list contains the most important changes:
IT models also have event
and continuous recording (MxPEG with audio).
IT models can display logos
in the images.
All camera models support
the built-in speaker.
All camera models have the
full number of time table profiles and custom days.
Event Logic EL1/EL2 is only
available for Secure models.
The new Master/Slave features are only available for
Secure models..

the individual models.
New Features and Enhancements
As compared to the software 2.2.2.17 of the MOBOTIX M10/D10
cameras, the following new features have been added to the software:
High frame rate—up to
30 fps VGA
Additional display modes
(EiP, PiZ)
Simplified Camera
Operation—Expanded Softbuttons and Audio Icon
Master/Slave Feature and
Custom Signals
Scheduled Access Control by the Supervisor
High Frame Rate—up to 30 fps VGAThe new MOBOTIX M22 camera can deliver up to 30 frames per
second in VGA resolution. Click on the "Fast Mode (30 fps)"
button to set all required options (see description further down).
Additional Display ModesThe Quick Controls above the live image contain the new
"Display Mode" item with the "EiP" and "PiZ"
modes.
EiP (Event in Picture)Displays the last event image in the bottom right corner of
the current live image.
PiZ (Picture in Zoom)When the image has been zoomed (2x, 4x), this mode shows an
overview image in the bottom right corner of the current live image.
Clicking into the full image with the (left) mouse button will move
the center of the zoomed image to the desired position.
Simplified Camera Operation—Expanded Softbuttons and
Audio IconNew softbuttons and icons have been added, which are aimed
at facilitating crucial configuration tasks. Using these softbuttons
can automatically carry out several configuration settings, which
would otherwise involve making the settings manually in several
dialogs. The settings are shown in a separate dialog, which also
allows storing the settings permanently.
"Arm & Record" SoftbuttonThis softbutton can set are configuration parameters
required to arm the camera's event control, including the video
motion detection and set the Event Recording mode. If the camera
detects a video motion (VM) event, it will store the event as an
MxPEG stream.
"Audio On" SoftbuttonThis softbutton will transmit the audio channel from the
camera microphone to the computer's sound system, provided you are
using Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows computer.
Fast Mode (30 fps)Click on this softbutton to configure the camera for
delivering the maximum frame rate of 30 fps with VGA resolution.
The dialog lists all required settings; click on Yes to use the
proposed settings.
Quality ModeClick on this softbutton to configure the camera for
delivering optimum image using the MxPEG video codec.
Master/Slave Feature and Custom SignalsMaster/Slave FeatureThis feature allows to control the arming of cameras in a
MOBOTIX camera network (the so-called "Slave" cameras) from
one special camera, the "Master" camera. In other words,
the Slave cameras will always be armed, if the Master camera is
armed. The arming state will be synchronized as set in the General
Event Settings dialog and in the Action and
Messaging dialogs.
Open Setup Menu > General Event
Settings to configure the Master/Slave
settings as required.
Custom SignalsThe Custom Signals allow
accessing the physical signal input of one camera that is connected
to the alarm system, from any other camera of the MOBOTIX camera
network. The status of the signal input of the Master camera can be
used by the other cameras to control individual arming settings.
The Custom Signals are also
configured in the General Event Settings
dialog.
Scheduled Access Control by the SupervisorThe new Supervisor user allows limiting access to the
MOBOTIX camera for any user groups (even the admins group) according
to a global rule (for all groups) or individual group rules.
A
typical example would be scheduled access control for camera
administrators to prevent misuse of their administration privileges
where access to otherwise blocked video/audio data is concerned. In
such a scenario, the Supervisor would limit the access of the admins
group to a specific time once a week week, during which the
administrators would be accompanied by a trusted employee.
ImprovementsSettingMore/Less
The
More/Less setting will be stored
with the camera settings when storing the configuration and will
thus be available even after rebooting.
Camera
Arming can be controlled using the
VoIP (touchtone menu)
remote-control.
Improved White
balance for images with bright
white areas.
Improved Backlight
correction: bright image areas will not be
amplified any more.
The Arming Delay/Disarming Delay
when using the signal input (SI)
can now be configured in the Setup
Menu > General Event Settings dialog.
BugfixesFalse VM Events
Bright
white (overexposed) areas in the image led to false VM events when
exposure control intervened after changes in brightness.
Error When Recording
Snapshot (JPEG) Images Without Post-Event Images
This
sometimes produced corrupt or missing 'INFO.JPG' files in the
sequence folders of the stored event images.
Erroneous definition of
Admin passwords with special characters in the Quick
Installation.
Special characters could be
entered in the Quick Installation wizard when setting the admin
password, but were clipped after the first special character.
Continuous Recording When
Armed Using the Signal Input
This configuration
activated continuous recording in the camera—independent of the
status of the signal input used for arming the camera.
E-Mail to Non-Local
Recipients Sometimes Failed
Some e-mail servers
replied with the message "251 - user not local - mail will be
forwarded", prompting the camera to abort the sending
procedure.
Faulty Triggering of IL Event
The
lux trigger value had not been evaluated properly and IL events were
also triggered below the specified value.
